I have one of the most well behaved Golden doodles. I am willing to watch non shedding house trained well mannered dogs in my home. I do have a large crate if needed. Also have a fenced in yard. I'm also willing to come feed your dog and let him/her out within a local distance. I truly love dogs and their compassion.

I've lived with dogs my whole life and I love them. I've had big dogs like three golden retrievers and a small schnauzer. I am a runner and would enjoy running your dog because it would make me exercise my own legs. Plus, running a dog is really fun. I can play fetch, any game that takes physical activity, and run after your dog...

I have a lifetime of experience taking care of personal pets. I helped a friend who's dog sitter cancelled at the latest minute and found I am great at it. I spent 10 days with a new schnauzer puppy and had a blast training her, walking her and just hanging out. I am Red Cross certified in pet first aid.
